Oxifit-OD
This formulation combines several vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds, many of which support metabolic function, nerve health, and overall well-being. The ingredients provide powerful antioxidant support, promote energy metabolism, and aid in neurological and cardiovascular health.
- Recommended Usage
Indications:
- Nerve Health: Alpha-lipoic acid and benfotiamine support nerve function, helping with symptoms of neuropathy (often in those with diabetes or other metabolic conditions).
- Energy Metabolism: The B-vitamins (B1, B6, B12, folate, and pantothenate) and biotin support energy production by aiding in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: Chromium polynicotinate helps regulate blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity, which is useful for individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
- Immune Support: Vitamin A, vitamin D3, and selenium are key for maintaining a healthy immune system and providing antioxidant protection.
- Pregnancy Support: L-methylfolate provides the bioavailable form of folate to support healthy fetal development and prevent birth defects.
- Skin, Hair, and Nail Health: Biotin, along with vitamin A and other antioxidants, promotes the health of skin, hair, and nails.
- Cardiovascular Health: The combination of antioxidants (alpha-lipoic acid, selenium) and B-vitamins supports healthy circulation and heart health.
Dosage and Administration:
- Adults: Typically, 1 tablet per day, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Always consult a healthcare provider before taking this supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure the correct dosage of vitamins (especially vitamin A and folate).
Precautions:
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While folate is essential during pregnancy, excessive amounts of vitamin A (especially 2500 IU) can be harmful. Ensure that the dosage aligns with your healthcare provider’s recommendation.

- Kidney Disease: Individuals with kidney disease should use caution, especially with high doses of vitamins like vitamin D and chromium.
- Medical Conditions: If you have diabetes, thyroid disease, or a blood sugar regulation issue, consult a healthcare provider before starting the supplement, particularly with the presence of chromium and alpha-lipoic acid.
- Drug Interactions: Be aware of potential interactions with medications such as those for diabetes (insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents), blood pressure, or those affecting the immune system.
Contraindications:
- Excessive Vitamin A: High doses of vitamin A during pregnancy can cause teratogenic effects (birth defects). It's important not to exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a healthcare provider.
- Iron Deficiency: This supplement does not contain iron, so individuals with iron deficiency may need to take additional iron supplements.
- Allergic Reactions to Ingredients: Discontinue use if you experience allergic reactions to any of the components (e.g., rashes, swelling).
Key Benefits:
- Nerve Health: Alpha-lipoic acid and benfotiamine help protect nerve cells and reduce symptoms of neuropathy, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes.
- Energy Support: The B-vitamins, particularly B1, B6, B12, and pantothenate, contribute to the conversion of food into energy, reducing fatigue and promoting overall vitality.
- Blood Sugar Control: Chromium polynicotinate plays a key role in enhancing insulin sensitivity, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels, which is useful for managing type 2 diabetes.
- Skin and Hair Health: Biotin and vitamin A support healthy hair, skin, and nails, preventing hair thinning, dryness, and skin issues.
- Immune Function: Vitamin D3, vitamin A, and selenium are important for maintaining a healthy immune system and defending against infections and oxidative stress.
